Bobby Cole grew up in Mississippi and has spent much of his life in the outdoors, hunting and managing wildlife land. That firsthand experience shows up clearly in his fiction, where the Southern landscape plays as big a role as any character. His books are full of authentic detail about rural life, hunting culture, and the kind of trouble that finds people in isolated places.

His Jake Crosby series, starting with The Dummy Line in 2008, follows a land manager in Mississippi who keeps stumbling into criminal activity on and around the property he oversees. The books combine fast-paced thriller plotting with a strong sense of place. Cole’s standalone novels, The Rented Mule and Silent Approach, take a similar approach, dropping ordinary people into tense, high-stakes situations rooted in the Southern outdoors.
